Chapter 1
I'm back! Hope you missed me. Ok probably you just missed the story. Yeah that sounds right. Anyways read, review. Seriously REVIEW! So without further ramblings from myself I give to you-insert drum roll- Laugh, I Nearly Died, the sequel to Giving Love a Bad Name.
She watches as Dean slices into the man on the rack. She's screaming at him to stop, but her mouth moves and no words come out. He only hears her when he wants to. The man is screaming in pain as flames lick everywhere, the smell of rotting flesh never fades.
Finally, he turns to her.
"Get out of here!" he yells.
She has tears in her eyes," Please, Dean, remember who you are!"
His eyes are cold and he has a sneer on his lips when he looks at her," This is who I am, Adriana."
Addy gasps and sits up straight in bed, covered in a cold sweat and trembling.
"Addy?"
She turns to see Sam lying next to her, his naked torso covered by the sheets. He's sitting up slowly, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"I'm sorry," she whispers," Go back to bed."
He shakes his head," No, you had another nightmare."
"I'm fine," she reassures him and glances at the clock sitting on the nightstand next to him," Get some sleep. It's one o' clock in the morning. "
He places a kiss on her bare shoulder," You never go back to sleep after you have one. I'm not letting you stay up alone."
She sighs," Fine, stubborn man."
He laughs," It could get easier if you just tell me about them."
She shakes her head," I've been saying no for four months, Sam."
He sighs," I'll get you to talk eventually."
He sits his back against the headboard and pulls her to him so she's resting against his chest. Automatically, she starts playing with her necklace. The one that had the ring Sam had given her right before Dean died. It was a sense of comfort. Especially since she'd gotten the demon protection symbol engraved into next to her and Sam's initials. After her up close encounter with Lilith, she was extra careful. The skin that had her tattoo had a nasty scar and she was afraid to get one elsewhere.
Sam kissed the top of her head," Tell me what's going on Angel."
Angel, she loved that name. Sam had started calling her that because one day, two weeks after Dean was gone, he'd said she had saved him and that made her his guardian angel. It stuck after that. He never called her that around anyone else, because it was just for them.
"I'm okay, Sam," she says.
"You barely sleep," he says and kisses the crown of her head.
She tilts her head up to give him a kiss.
"Good thing I have you to make me feel tired," she says and rolls on top of him. He smiles, letting it go, for now, and kisses her harder this time. She moans when she feels his member harden in his pajama pants against her heat.
She pulls away and trails kisses down his neck, his hands running down her thighs.
"You should really just stop wearing clothes to bed," he says, referring to her green skin tight tank top and black panties.
"If I did that," she says seductively," We'd never get out of bed."
"I know," he says and she lets out a yelp of surprise when he flips them over," That's the point, Angel."
She smiles and raises her lips to meet his.
SUPERNATURAL
Addy sits on the kitchen counter, sipping a glass of orange juice.
"Got breakfast," she hears Sam yell from the front door and goes to meet him.
Before she can close the door, she hears the name she and Sam had used to rent the apartment for the past four months being called," Kitty."
She opens the door to see Ida, the building's nosy old cat lady coming towards her. She'd been trying to learn everything about her and Sam since the minute they'd moved in. Apparently, their cover story, newlyweds from Alabama who both worked from home and business traveled together was very enticing.
She leans against the door post, the biggest, fakest smile on her face.
"Ida," she says in a sugar sweet voice," What can I do for you?"
"Oh so glad I caught you, dearie," she says, coming to a stop in front of her," I was just wondering if you and Samuel had any plans for next Wednesday. My husband and I are having a little get together."
Sam stares at her for behind the door and she pleads with him for help. He comes around the door, a fake smile on his face as well.
"Hi Ida," Sam says, and stands behind Addy, his arms around her waist," Actually we've both got work packing our schedules."
"Oh that's too bad," she says, "Well I guess another time."
"So sorry," Addy says in an as disappointed tone as she can muster.
"No problem," Ida says and then whispers," Newlyweds need their alone time."
Addy gives a fake laugh," Thanks for the understanding."
"Any time, dearie," she says and skips off down the hall.
Addy closes the door and turns to Sam," Mr. and Mrs. Antilles need to get out more or Ida's going to drag their asses to the next neighborhood watch meeting."
"Mr. and Mrs. Antilles are hunters who are usually never here," Sam replies kissing the top of her head and going off to get the to go containers" and that woman seems to think that all we do when we're here is have sex."
"She's not wrong," Addy calls after him and he laughs," but seriously Sam. Let's get back on the road. I know this is close to Dean, but there are only so many towns we can go to before we run out of hunts in the area. If we want to get Lilith then we have to keep moving."
He comes back and hands a box to her," I know, just a little more time."
"Sam," she says softly, her hand on his cheek," I just don't want you becoming obsessed with this."
"I'm not," he says," Just a little more time to figure something out and if I can't then we're gone."
"Okay," she says, dropping her hand," say what you will but Ida's the scariest thing I've ever had to face."
He laughs and they plop back onto the couch to watch TV and eat.
SUPERNATURAL
Sam hears the water cut off and he knows Addy is out of the shower. He's sipping a beer and looking through his dad's journal before they head to bed.
A knock at the door interrupted his thoughts and he went to open it. He smiles when he sees Bobby, but it fades when he sees… Dean.
He stares at him, not saying a word. He looks him up and down, unsure of what to do.
"Sam," he hears Bobby say," Before you go after him with holy water and a silver knife. It's him. It's really Dean."
"Heya Sammy," he says.
"Dean," Sam says and they embrace, holding each other tight.
Sam pushes Dean to arm's length," What happened?"
"I know. I look fantastic, huh?" Dean says with his usual smile.
Addy comes out of the bedroom in cotton shorts and a black tank, her hair still wet," Sam is everything-"
She spots Dean and freezes.
"It's him," Sam says to her and slowly she walks towards him.
"Hey sweetheart," Dean says, opening his arms for a hug" Miss me?"
She grins and jumps into his arms, throwing her arms around his neck," You're alive!"
"Yes," he says, his voice strangled," but not for long of you keep choking me."
She lets go of him," Sorry," she says, but hugs him again anyways.
"Jeez," he says," Sammy hasn't been enough for you."
"I'm so sorry, Dean," she says and lets him go. He looks to see she has tears in her eyes.
"For what?" he asks, confused.
She almost blurted everything out right then. How she knew everything that had happened to him in hell, but she didn't.
"Nothing," she quickly says and doesn't meet his eyes.
"If you mean when you were possessed by Lilith," Dean says," That was not your fault."
"Yeah I know," she says and smiles again," I can't believe it."
"Well believe it, Kitty," he says with a signature Dean Winchester smile and for once the dreaded name of hers doesn't bother her.
SUPERNATURAL
Addy and Sam sit on the couch, Dean and Bobby standing over them. A tense silence has filled the sir
"All right," Addy says," Enough of this cryptic bull. Just tell us what's on your mind."
Dean looks at Sam," So tell me, what'd it cost?"
Addy gets what he's asking, but she doesn't say anything, waiting for Sam to answer.
"You think I made a deal?" Sam asks, sounding almost offended.
"That's exactly what we think," Bobby says in a hard tone.
"Well, I didn't."
"Don't lie to me," Dean says intensely.
"He's not lying," Addy speaks up, her tone definite," I know he didn't. I made a promise to you to make sure that I wouldn't let him and I didn't."
"So you're telling me he never tried," Dean says, advancing.
"No, he tried," Addy says," I just wouldn't let him."
"So what?" Bobby asks," Did you do it?"
"No," she says," but it wasn't for lack of trying."
"So you're telling me that neither of you brought me back?" Dean asks, looking between you two.
"I tried everything," Sam says, rising," That's the truth. I tried opening the Devil's Gate. Hell, I tried to bargain, Dean, but no demon would deal, all right? You were rotting in Hell for months. For months, and I couldn't stop it. So I'm sorry it wasn't me, all right? Dean, I'm sorry."
Addy turns to him, her eyes softening and she puts her hand on his shoulder. She looks to Dean and gives him his cue to say something.
"It's okay, Sammy," Dean says,"You don't have to apologize, I believe you."
"Well," Bobby says," I'm happy that Sam's soul is right where it should be but that raises an interesting question?"
"If he didn't pull me out, then what did?" Dean says and they look between each other.
SUPERNATURAL
Dean, Sam, and Bobby are seated around the kitchen table while Addy pulls out beers from the small fridge. She hands one to each of them then sits down with one for herself.
Dean's smiling at her funny and she lowers her beer.
"What?" she asks.
"Look at you," he says in a mocking tone," Playing the sweet little girlfriend getting beers for her boyfriend's company."
"Bobby scoffs," Not your best idea boy."
She raises her eyebrows," I could always break the bottle over your head. Let's see how sweet I am then."
Dean's smile fades once he sees her perfectly straight face," Not much has changed, huh?"
She shakes her head slowly and takes a sip of her beer.
"Anyways," Dean says," So what were you two doing around here if you weren't digging me out of my grave?"
"We never really left," Sam says," We've been here for awhile now. We only leave when we get a lead on Lilith."
"All by yourself," Bobby says accusingly," Two against Lilith are not great odds."
"Bobby, I wanted payback," Addy says," Bitch possessed me."
Bobby nods in understanding.
"Anyways," she continues," if we left it would have been bad timing. All these demons came and hauled up here yesterday morning, but I guess we know why now."
She turns to look at Dean.
"When I busted out," he realizes.
She nods," Whatever is going on I think it started with you, Dean."
"But why is what we need to figure out," Sam says.
"Well, I don't know – some badass demon drags me out and now this? It's gotta be connected somehow," Dean says.
"How you feelin', anyway?" Bobby asks him.
"I'm a little hungry," he says and Addy smiles at familiarity.
"No, I mean, do you feel like yourself? Anything strange, or different?"
"Or demonic? "he finishes for him, "Bobby, how many times do I have to prove I'm me?"
"Yeah. Well, listen," Bobby says," No demon's letting you loose out of the goodness of their hearts. They've gotta have something nasty planned."
"Well, I feel fine," Dean says.
"Okay, look, we don't know what they're planning. We got a pile of questions and no shovel," Sam says.
"We need some help," Addy says," I know a psychic who's not far from here. Something as big as this, maybe she's heard something from the other side."
"You talking about Pam," Bobby says and she nods.
"It's worth a shot," Bobby says and gets up to leave," I'll be right back."
He shuts the door behind him as he leaves.
Dean's eyes shift around the tiny apartment. The kitchen and living room were connected with no personal touches. The place reminded him of the one that had been haunted when they worked with Jo.
"Nice place you got here," he comments," love the total lack of character."
"The idea was for us to be able to pack up and leave within five minutes if we ever needed to," Sam says," Not to start a home."
Dean nods and takes a sip of his beer," So why didn't you two?"
"Why didn't we what?" Addy asks.
"Start a home," he explains and notes both of their down turned eyes.
"We couldn't," Sam says finally, breaking the silence," After you died, we both were out for Lilith's blood. We couldn't just let it go."
Dean chuckles," I guess a couple that slays together stays together."
Addy laughs," You have no idea."
SUPERNATURAL
Addy zips up her last bag and throws it over her shoulder. This place she certainly wasn't going to miss.
She exits the bedroom, taking one last look around to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. She feels Sam's arms come around her.
"A lot of good memories in that bed," he whispers in her ear.
"I agree," she says," but we're really good at making those memories anywhere."
He smiles," I think I might miss this place. You?"
She remembers all the nightmares, all the nights she'd woken up and silently cried into her pillow after seeing Dean ripped into by that son of a bitch demon, Azazeal. The night she'd watched Dean give in to his torture. True, there were some good nights in that bed for her and Sam, but there were many more bad ones for her.
"Yeah," she lies," I will miss it."
